Is the linux SPI driver (/drivers/spi/spi-altera.c) suitable for the QSYS soft SPI IP (3 wire serial)?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • SPI (3 Wire Serial) Intel® FPGA IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Yes. The linux SPI driver(/drivers/spi/spi-altera.c) is suitable for the Qsys soft SPI IP(3 wire serial). 

    Resolution

    You can connect the SPI(3-wire serial) IP to the h2f_lw bridge and create a device tree by referring to the content below:

       spi_0: spi@0x100020000 {
        compatible = "altr,spi-15.1", "altr,spi-1.0";
        reg = <0x00000001 0x00020000 0x00000020>;
        interrupt-parent = <&hps_0_arm_gic_0>;
        interrupts = <0 42 4>;
        clocks = <&clk_0>;
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <0>;
        bus-num = <0>;
        num-chipselect = <1>;
        status = "okay";
        
        spidev0_fpga: spidev@0 {
         compatible =  "rohm,dh2228fv";   /* appended from boardinfo */
         reg = <0>;  /* appended from boardinfo */
         spi-max-frequency = <2500000>;  /* appended from boardinfo */
        };//end spidev@0
       }; //end spi@0x100020000 (spi_0)
